The Lords of Salem, the 6th full length movie from Rob Zombie came out on April 19 2013. The film, starring Sheri Moon Zombie, Meg Foster, Patricia Quinn, Jeff Daniel Phillips and Judy Geeson among others, centered on the character of Heidi Hawthorne, a radio DJ who upon hearing a mysterious record sent to the station begins to succumb to a strange spell. The spell is revenge from a coven of witches, burnt to death in the 1600’s and now exacting their revenge on blood relatives of their murderers.

The film featured a full length book based on the original shooting script and was the first Rob Zombie film to feature a score written by his axe man John 5.

With The Lords of Salem out now on Blu-ray, movieweb.com chats to it’s director – Rob Zombie – to look back on the movie which had “wonderfully astute ways of creeping out even the most hardcore gore hound”. Rob also talks about “the current state of horror, and cult movies in general.”
